I think Kala is keeping me up and inspiring me. She's not the only one who posts lyrics, of course.

Big bearhug clinch or not. She tracks bears, you know. With her running shoes on :)

"You've got your mother in a whirl:she's not sure if you're a boy or a girl.Hey babe your hair's a sight,hey babe let's stay out tonightyou like me and I like it allyou like bands when they're playing hardyou want more and you want it fastRebel, Rebel, you've torn your dressRebel, Rebel, your arms are a messRebel, Rebel, how could they know --Hot Tramp, I love you so!As they poured you out of the oxygen tentyou asked for the latest party:crawlin' down the alley on your hands and kneesI'm sure you're not protected.Come out of the garden, baby,you'll catch your death in the fog.They call you the Diamond Dog.I'll keep a Friend serene ...O baby, come unto me.

Well, she's come, been, and gone.

There's gonna be sorrow,try and wake up tomorrow.

This ain't rock 'n' roll, it's genocide.

I know It's only rock 'n' roll,But I like it, like it, yes I do."

-----------Bowie declared he was bi in 1971. He's still going strong. So is Mick.They've come, been, and are staying. Timeless words.

It's not exactly Nightwish, but then ......

I was wondering if you like Tori Amos. I mean, I think that if you know survivors (and given the fact that you were Anna's friend) you must have listened to at least some of her songs. I was just reading this entry and thought that I should ask, you look like the kind of person who's really enjoy and appreciate Tori.

Absolutely, Lois, I do. Have for a long time.......Little Earthquakes. Man and a Gun. Barbados.Great lyrics and a great artist-performer....it especially moves me how she converts personal tragedy to art and to helping others. Just like Anna did, and was going to expand in doing.

There's a lot more to her than that, of course. To both of them.I also like her graphics. Such as the shot of her piano on fire in the gas station <3...

I'd consider myself a dead weight long before I'd consider myself inspiring. It's not me who's inspiring, it's the song artists. Like you've said before, it's amazing how song artists can connect with their audience and tap into such deep feelings.
